73% said workplace benefits are a key factor in their decision to turn down a job, highlighting the importance of employers needing to do more to provide competitive benefits for employees.

Top 5 most wanted benefits by individuals that employers should offer:

flexible working hours (71%)

working from home (55%)

unlimited paid holiday (46%)

company car or subsidised travel (43%)

weekly free lunches (41%).

Oliver Watson, executive board director for UK and North America at PageGroup, said:

“Whether you’re an employer scouting for new talent or a candidate searching for a new job, the benefits package on offer needs to match both parties’ expectations.

“While we may be accustomed to negotiating a starting salary, discussing more tailored benefits is rarely given the same priority – resulting in neither party getting an agreement that drives engagement for an employee and performance for an employer.

“As working cultures become more flexible and dynamic, a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to benefits no longer applies. Employers need to relax their typically fixed policies and start an open conversation about benefits far earlier in the recruitment process.”
